So outside of myself and a couple others occasionally marveling at the depths of TDS displayed here the TDSphiles will have free reign lol

I had to contend with street lights but was actually surprised how easy was to see; I really didn't know what to expect. I may try this evening from a darker location.

This is the 100mm lens - Mt. Princeton on the horizon.  Sorry that I can't get it to stand up straight!  Jim

Obviously this is a composite from our Mt. Hood trip a few years back.

Thanks Greg.  I've decided to tone it down. We'll see how long I last!  Hopefully 'till the election.

Hi Jim,

Beautiful shot of NEOWISE.  The advantage of high altitude and dark skies!  Glad the weather cleared for you.

But... did you have to send the clouds down here?!?!?!?!?!   I managed brief glimpses of the comet between clouds the past 2 nights and tonight is was thunder, lightening and heavy rain!

Here is one I got a few nights back.  15sec Modified Canon D60 100mm F/2.8 Nikon lens

If he gives you the chills, I'm thrilled for you.

That said, yes there are R's who do not like Trump and they are not all RINO's either......I still have a hard time ignoring Trump's ego that keeps getting in his way. I still however like his accomplishments in the face of all the opposition, he has my vote on that alone......
